About

The La Casa Wind project is a proposed 148.4 MW wind generation facility in Stephens County, Texas. Developed by LA CASA WIND, LLC, the project entered the ERCOT interconnection queue as ERCOT-21INR0240 on December 28, 2018, and has a proposed commercial operation date of March 16, 2026. The project's Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on September 7, 2023.

The proposed project is linked to the existing La Casa Wind operating plant (EIA ID 66919). The point of interconnection is a new switching station: 138kV Graham Plant Switch - Breckenridge - Leon Switch. The La Casa Wind project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
